Lending Library

Borrow from our library of parenting topics– A Service of the COAD ECE Division

Did you ever wonder why there wasn’t a book on how to be the perfect parent? I always wanted a manual that came with the baby! But no such luck in this world. However, the COAD Child Care Resource Network (CCRN) is the next best thing. CCRN house a resource library of books and videos on many parenting issues. Besides having a trained counselor to research answers to your questions, and talk with you by telephone about parenting issues, we can send books and videos to enjoy in the comfort of your home. And we will send a return envelope for your convenience in returning the items. Call 1-800-577-2276 for more topics, or send the online form below.
